Barbie and Kennie
Barbie and Kennie — published in Cabinet of Curiosities: Tales of Oddities, Gadgets, and Trinkets (Owl Hollow Press, 2019)
For as long as she can remember, Kennie had Jo — her constant, her confidante, her best friend. When a vintage Barbie case surfaces at a Pasadena yard sale and brings Jo rushing back, Kennie begins to unravel a truth she never saw coming. Some friendships defy every explanation.
